(ii) In Lirawl, an agreement has "been reached between
Mohammed All Khan (see paragraph IX(v) of my report for
15th April) and the Hiat Daud Khans. The essentials of
this are the restoration by Mohammed Ali to the children
of the late Aqa Khan of the property and money which he
took at the time of his raid on Hissar; that he should

Hissar in 6 months* time. It remains to be seen whether
the agreement will be honoured.
It is understood that Mohammed Ali Khan co
operated in the expulsion of the Boir Ahmedis from Bandar
HI urn.
